Product Description

The people in your group spend hours every day in the most high-impact mission field in the world: their workplaces. A place where they are regularly in touch with people facing significant life questions. But to have an impact, they need a perspective that's different from anything they've ever heard or read about evangelism. Real evangelism is a process.

Create curiosity about faith and stimulate spiritual interest

Editorial Reviews

'...The book is peppered with helpful and sometimes provocative comments from business professionals who have learned how to connect with co-workers and clients in the secular marketplace.' -- The Dallas Morning News -- Robin Galiano Russell

'...The chapter on postmodernism, in particular, will provide a much-needed prescriptive for laypeople and pastors who still are working out of 'aggressive, non-relational' modes.' -- Norman Transcript -- Robin Galiano Russell
